This is Blum's LEGRABOX Free drawer system in walnut with a carbon black matt finish. The 177mm height makes it a substantial drawer box, designed with exceptionally slim 12.8mm sides that create clean, linear profiles. You're looking at a drawer system that prioritises both visual restraint and mechanical precision.

Where It Fits

The walnut finish with carbon black accents works particularly well in contemporary kitchens where natural materials meet industrial elements. At 177mm high, this drawer suits locations where you need generous storage depth, such as base units for pans, small appliances, or bulk storage areas. The slim profile means it won't dominate your cabinet interiors visually.

How It Works

The LEGRABOX system uses Blum's cabinet-mounted runners rather than traditional side-mounted ones. This creates a smooth, controlled motion that you feel from the moment you touch the drawer. The system can handle loads up to 40kg in standard configurations, or 70kg for wider drawers over 600mm, maintaining smooth operation even when fully extended and heavily loaded.

Why It Matters

In daily use, this translates to drawers that open and close with consistent, controlled movement regardless of what you've stored inside. The high load capacity means you can use these drawers for heavy items like cast iron cookware without compromising performance. The slim sides also mean more internal space for your actual storage needs.

Design Consideration

The walnut and carbon black combination works best when it complements your overall material palette rather than competing with it. If your kitchen already features warm wood tones, this can tie elements together. However, if you're working with cooler materials or very minimal aesthetics, you might find the walnut finish adds unwanted warmth.

Build Quality

Blum manufactures these with precision engineering that's evident in the parallel drawer sides and consistent gap lines. The 12.8mm wall thickness strikes a balance between strength and space efficiency. The carbon black matt finish on the metal components resists fingerprints better than high-gloss alternatives.

Options

You can specify these with BLUMOTION soft-close, TIP-ON push-to-open with soft-close, or without integrated opening mechanisms. For cabinets wider than 600mm, the 70kg load capacity version is recommended. The system is available as fully assembled drawers made to your exact dimensions, or as component sets for assembly.

Consider how the walnut finish will work with your cabinet interiors and whether the 177mm height matches your storage needs. This system excels when you want substantial storage capacity without visual bulk, particularly in kitchens where natural materials are part of the design language.
